Here's a closer view of his face:
I tried stalking a monarch in the last couple days, but that one was too manic to stay put for even a second. Later in the season they settle down more and pose for pics.

Butterfly Season
This Swallowtail emerged in our garden yesterday. I got this image of it while he was still drying his wings.

Cool pictures! What a pretty butterfly.
Absolutely amazing photos! And interesting as I'm in the process of knitting a Swallowtail!
Excellent close-ups, Mr. DeMille.
I love, love, love their coiled tongues! And oddly, I'm knitting a Swallowtail Shawl, too.
Do you put these on Flikr? I just heard that Getty Images signed a deal with Flikr that allows them to troll Flikr on the lookout for good photographers they'd like to sign as freelancers. You definately have the touch!!!
Beautiful pictures!
I love your photograph. It is such a beautiful butterfly. as children, camping in France we used to see so many of them.
Gorgeous.
What a great thing to capture.
Perfect timing! Our Monarchs are crazy too. They are all over the milkweed though so maybe one of these days I can catch one
I haven't seen any of these yet here. Your photos are fantastic!
